Complaints

Compliments and complaints

We believe that all complaints, concerns and compliments are valuable feedback. They help us to learn from your experiences and improve our services. We always share feedback with our team members.

Giving your feedback

We believe it is important to hear patients’ views on services they have received. You can make your voice heard by taking part in surveys, such as the GP survey, when you get the opportunity

We also find out what patients think through other feedback tools, such as the Friends and Family Test. The information we gather is key to helping people working in the NHS to make improvements where necessary. Positive feedback helps too because it provides a morale boost for hard-working practice staff.

Via this independent website - Care Opinion is an online patient feedback platform for health and social care. It offers patients and carers an easy way to anonymously and securely share their experiences and feedback with their healthcare provider. Healthcare staff can listen, gain insight, respond, and act on the feedback, improving patient experience. It also gives trusts the chance to recognise staff who are going above and beyond in the treatment of patients.
